Priory Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Averages about 4% but it’s a long steady climb over about 3km into Ashdown Forrest

Tip by

4.68 km

Twyford Lane is home to one of the Ashdown Forest’s more notorious hill climbs - Pillow Mounds. It’s got some steep sections and a few false summits but it’s a more enjoyable climb than the likes of the Wall and Black Hill.

Quiet Sussex Lane

A quiet lane that links up to plenty of other back roads

Tip by

Lindfield High Street

Highlight • Pub

Lovely old Sussex village with an avenue of Lime trees, which give the village its name (another name for Lime trees is Linden), several good pubs, a large duck-pond and village common. The town lies roughly at the halfway point on the annual London to Brighton cycle ride and photos of the village, and its pond, feature on many of the publicity photos for the ride.

30.8 km

Ardingly Village

Highlight • Cafe

A small Sussex village with all the vital ingredients; a good cafe, a couple of pubs, a post office... as well as one of the largest showgrounds in the Southeast of England and a scuba diving shop! The showground is a good place to teach children to ride a bike as its got several kilometres of safe sealed roads with no traffic.

Tip by

33.2 km

Wakehurst Place

Highlight • Cafe

A National Trust site affiliated with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. As with most National Trust sites, there is a café with plenty of coffee and cake for hungry cyclists.

Kingscote Railway Station (Bluebell Railway)

Highlight • Structure

One of the stations on the heritage Bluebell Railway, which now runs from East Grinstead to Sheffield Park. Kingscote used to be the northern limit of the railway, until the link with East Grinstead was made, and its been renovated with a 1959s theme.

Weir Wood Reservoir Local Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Weir Wood Reservoir is a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, protected due to its role as one of the largest areas of open water in Sussex and the bird populations that it supports. There is a bird hide just off Legsheath Lane, along the south bank of the reservoir, with an outlook over the water. The western end of the reservoir is home to the sailing club.
